Let the armor be!!! I rendered the whole armor out, and it was a neat experience, I can advise it to anybody who wants to paint. One can learn a lot about light and rendering in this process... I quite Like the outcome, altough I still could have made the metal more shiny.. more dented and scratched... it looks quite polished to me.... I have to practice painting heads....this was hard, and I am not satisfied yet... also hair.... it was impossible... :-(((
